Stars out for Rhys memorial concert

The 11-year-old's parents Melanie, 42, and Stephen, 45, will watch acts at the Liverpool Unites: Concert For Rhys including former Spice Girl Melanie C, Tony Christie and Natasha Hamilton.

Money raised from the concert will go towards the Liverpool Unites campaign which is raising money for the Rhys Jones Memorial Fund.

The fund aims to raise cash to build a community centre in honour of Rhys in Croxteth, the area where he grew up. He died in a pub car park on August 22 last year.

Speaking about the event, Melanie and Stephen Jones said: "To see people and performers of such professionalism, and such big names, give up their time to help the cause is just great. There is something for everyone on the bill.

"We want as many people to come and join us on the night as possible. It will be a special way to mark Rhys' life."
